My younger son Jake turned 21 in April, which means both of my sons are now “legal” and I’m just so proud of both of them.
Jared (now 24) is in our home state of New York for the summer, selling systems for Vivint Home Security, where he has been among the company’s top-rated rookie salespeople since he began working for Vivint in January.
Even though Jake isn’t at the University of Florida (the school that gave Bachelor’s degrees to both his brother and his dad), he’s doing great at (sigh) Florida State University in Tallahassee, where he is planning to earn a degree in Psychology, with plans to pursue a doctoral degree in Sports Psychology.
Ground has been broken on a new 8,000-sq.-ft. retail plaza on Morris Bridge Rd., just north of Cross Creek Blvd.

Construction has begun on the Shoppes at Morris Bridge, a new medical and retail plaza located on the west side of Morris Bridge Rd., just north of Cross Creek Blvd.
The owner, Dr. Mohamad Saleh, a neurologist and New Tampa resident, will anchor the 8,000-sq.-ft. plaza with a third location for his practice, which will specialize in both neurology and wellness.
“It’s going to be nice and elegant,” Dr. Saleh explains. “We’re going to have an outside seating area and a gazebo.”
Dr. Saleh says that his practice will take up about 3,000 square feet of the new plaza, leaving about 5,000 square feet for other tenants. Construction, which began in May, is expected to be completed by January.
“The area is growing, so it’s an open invitation to anyone who wants to move in,” Dr. Saleh says of prospective tenants. “I’ve gotten calls from dentists, and even people hoping to bring a restaurant to the plaza.”
Dr. Saleh says there will be about four additional vacant spaces once he moves his practice in, each with between 1,200-1,500 sq. ft. of space, but can vary depending upon the size of the business or businesses that end up moving into the plaza.
This will be Dr. Saleh’s third location, with additional offices in both Brandon and Brooksville. But, he says, the New Tampa area is his home.
“We’ve been busy in Brandon and thought that our niche would do well in New Tampa,” Dr. Saleh says. “I’ve gotten several calls from interested parties, so far, but I’m in no rush.”
Driving through Tampa Palms, it’s difficult to ignore the sound of saws cutting down branches along Bruce B. Downs (BBD) Blvd.
TECO workers trim back the foliage along Bruce B. Downs Blvd. in Tampa Palms.
It may be loud, but the intense trimming of trees along the roadway during the past several weeks is in preparation for the next segment of BBD widening that is expected to begin by early next year.
According to TECO (Tampa Electric Company), the utility company is trimming back foliage and preparing to move its existing power lines so that there will be enough room for
the project to widen BBD from four to eight lanes between Palm Springs Blvd. and E. Bearss Ave.Continue reading
